You have been suffering from allergic rhinitis (hay fever) for the last two years. Symptoms like sneezing, running nose, and congestion can be very annoying. Usually, the things that trigger this allergic reaction are pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. Antihistamines like Montas-L can help you by blocking the allergy response and thus, reducing the symptoms. The regular intake of your medication is necessary for the proper control of your allergy.

How can I cure myself after swallowing a cool lip

Male | 17

When you swallow something like a lip balm or any foreign object, it usually passes through your digestive system without causing harm. In fact, your stomach acid and digestive enzymes work to break down most things you accidentally swallow. However, if you experience any symptoms like difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe abdominal pain, it's crucial to seek immediate medical help. In the meantime, drink plenty of water to help move things along smoothly.
